Black Pepper Burger Recipes

Steps:

• For the spice rub: Place paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, ground mustard, black pepper and cayenne in a small bowl and whisk until everything is mixed thoroughly.
• For the Thousand Island dressing: Combine the mayo and ketchup in a medium bowl and mix with a spoon thoroughly until blended. Add the relish, pepper, salt, sugar, vinegar and onion and mix until well blended. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• For the hot mess mix: Combine the jalapenos, pickles, bacon and onion in a medium bowl. Fold in 1 1/2 cups Thousand Island dressing until it becomes a thick, spreadable mixture.
• For the pigferno BBQ sauce: Grind up the jalapeno and habanero in a food processor. Combine in a saucepot with the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, molasses, BBQ seasoning, cayenne and black pepper and bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce becomes dark in color and thickens, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
• For the wicked hot burger: Add 1/2 tablespoon spice rub to the beef in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly. Prepare four 8-ounce patties. Toast the buns with a light spread of butter. Cook the patties in a hot skillet to preferred doneness (medium-rare is recommended).
• Warm up the sliced pickled jalapenos on the grill or in a fry pan for about 30 seconds, then place them atop the cooked patties. Melt Cheddar over top of the jalapenos. Spread horseradish sauce on the bottom buns and add some shredded lettuce. Add the patties on top of the lettuce. Spoon on about 2 tablespoons of hot mess per burger. Spoon on or use a squeeze bottle to dollop 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons pigferno BBQ sauce on each burger. Sprinkle the crispy jalapenos over the top to add some crunch.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• In a large bowl, microwave black beans for 1 minute, or until softened.
• Add roasted red peppers, garlic, cayenne, cumin, and salt. Mash until black beans are finely mashed.
• Add cornmeal and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Using a ½ cup (120 ml) measuring cup, portion 5 patties from the mixture. Place onto a lightly greased parchment paper-lined sheet pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until firm and browned, flipping over halfway through.
• Serve burgers with your favorite fixins.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Grill or cook on a flat top griddle or in a skillet.
• 2. Form patties and rub generously with mustard. Coat with black pepper and cook to doneness you prefer.
• 3. I grilled mine on my indoor grill and I had to reduce the heat to a med. low because of the smoke. Not sure if the pepper or mustard was the cause, but the outcome was incredible!!!

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In large bowl, mix beef, steak sauce, salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper and 1/2 cup of the onions. Shape mixture into 4 patties, 1/2 inch thick. In small bowl, mix mayonnaise and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper, set aside.
• Place patties on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 11 to 13 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F. During last 2 minutes of cooking, place buns, cut sides down, on grill until toasted.
• Spread mayonnaise mixture on cut sides of buns. Top with remaining 3/4 cup onions, the lettuce and burgers. Cover with top halves of buns.

Steps:

• For mustard sauce, in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the 1/4 cup of apple cider to a boil. Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until it's reduced by half. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cider has cooled, transfer to a small bowl; add mustard and tarragon. Stir to combine; set aside
• Set up grill for direct cooking over high heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
• For burgers, in a large bowl, stir to combine ground sirloin, the remaining 1 tablespoon cider, and the onion soup mix. Form into 4 mini-patties; set aside. Spread cracked pepper on a plate. Carefully press both sides of burgers into cracked pepper.
• Place burgers on hot, oiled grill and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium (160 degrees F). To serve, place hot burgers on toasted Kaiser rolls. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard sauce.

Steps:

• Mash black beans in a bowl with a potato masher, leaving a few beans whole for texture; set aside.
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add to black beans and season with basil, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Fold beaten eggs into the bean mixture. Sprinkle in bread crumbs, adding a little at a time and fold in. Be careful not to overmix the bean mixture.
• Reheat the skillet that you cooked the onion mixture in. Scoop out 1 cup bean mixture and shape into a ball. Set the ball into the hot skillet and gently flatten to form a burger.
• Cook until firm and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bean mixture. You might need to add more oil.
